Council housing

We are one of the largest providers of affordable rented housing in the district.

Most of our homes are in Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham and Carnforth. However, we do have a small number of properties in some rural villages across the district. We have a mixture of flats, maisonettes and houses.

All available council housing is let through Ideal Choice Homes.

Already a Lancaster City Council tenant?

If you feel your home is no longer suitable for your needs, you may want to apply for a transfer to different accommodation either with ourselves or another registered provider of social housing within the district.

To do this you need to join the housing register as described above, and then apply for available properties through Ideal Choice Homes.

If you feel that you have to move because your home does not meet your needs, perhaps because of a medical condition, please contact us as we may be able to offer adaptations to your current home.
